Just because I never went to university doesn't mean you can't read, although I do feel a bit uneducated from time to time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
College isn't the only answer. Reading is a college that you can and should attend all your life.
One can't write without having read - you have to read before beginning to write - and universities offer a very good opportunity to read.
I didn't go to university, and I always had in my mind that I hadn't studied properly.
But to this day - I'm very literate now, I love to read, I read constantly - words don't resonate the way they do to a person with a formal education. They're like a maze, a puzzle that has to be opened up.
I can read and write. I went to school for six years. I just couldn't continue.
Today I still feel like the most illiterate person ever to have roamed the campuses of Wellesley and Harvard, where I later transferred. I remain intimidated by all the books I haven't read, but over the years I've come to realize that being a student is a lifelong adventure.
I went to a comprehensive school and didn't go to university.
I was always a good student, but I didn't read that much until I was 18 and I was working my way through college.
I never went to university. I'm self-educated. I didn't go because I was too impatient, too arrogant.
Obviously I had gone all through high school and into college, and you don't do that not knowing how to read.
